A Close AM mark Does this make this coin desirable or simply a mis-stamp that occurs frequently. Many thanks for looking * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 08/09/2022 2:04 pm with John. This is a known weak spot on all the Lincoln cents. If the planchet is a little light, or a little low pressure. The shoulder takes so much metal to fill up, it takes it away from the reverse in that spot. You will see it in both wheat and memorial cents. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/09/2022 9:32 pm The difference between a Struck Through Grease and a weaker set of letters on that area is these images: Your coin is showing the stronger tops of the devices were the strike either didn't have enough metal, or too much was moved to the obverse and that area suffered the lost of metal. Not a grease issue on this one. CoopHome: Grease fill or Metal movement issues, how to tell the differences? tops of the devices showing strength Report this Post to the Staff
